Differential gene expression in pregnant and cyclic CL. The levels of (a) ISG15, (b) MX2, (c) STAT1, (d) FGF2, (e) PDGFB, and (f) XIAP mRNAs in day 18 CL from pregnant (P) and cyclic (C) cows. The total RNA was isolated from the tissue, and the mRNA expression were determined using qPCR. Asterisks indicate significant differences between pregnant and cyclic CL (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
